Best Toys & Gift Ideas for 6 Year Old Girls in 2019: Temper & Tantrum

When getting a gift for your 6-year-old girl ask yourself whether the gift will be age appropriate and whether she will be interested in it. Also, keep in mind her development level, cognitive growth, and physical abilities. Buying gifts that will help her further develop her language use; sensory and motor development will be an excellent idea (Source).

Parents constantly question whether their children are developing at the right pace and whether there is something that they can do to help. Before you decide that your little girl needs help with development, remember that most children develop very differently (Source). However, there are several milestones that are meant to act as guidelines and as strict criteria.

The main milestones to keep an eye on are language use and academic achievements. Plus, they should show some form of social and emotional development for a 6-year-old girl with the right use of language to express her feelings.

Furthermore, pediatricians highly recommend gifting toys and other gadgets that encourage girls to express their thoughts in sentences that are at least 5 to 7 words long. Also toys that ask your children to carry out instructions that includes a series of commands. Also, games and puzzles that teach children that some words have different meanings can be very useful; they should also be able to use these words to express some sort of humor.

Pediatricians also recommend parents to gift various books to encourage reading and the general love of books. Also, games that teach anything that has to do with mathematics will be a great gift too.

If you think that your 6-year-old girl is lacking in development, schedule an appointment with a pediatrician or a school psychiatrist.

Final Thoughts

6-year-old girl are full of contradictions, she has her one foot firmly still in the big-kid world of laughter, fun, and silliness. On the other hand, she has her other foot in a pool of insecurities that arise when children grow from toddlers to big kids.

These insecurities mainly arise from children not having mom and dad around the clock for constant emotional and sometimes physical support. As your girl frequently experiences school, parties, holidays and play dates or other activities she might need more attention from you and would require more comfort cuddling.

Parent’s confusion as to what to gift a child that has seemed in a day morphed from a cute toddler girl to a first-grade school girl is fully understandable as kids at this stage can grow an average 2.5 to 3 inches a year.

Plus, at this point in time, some girls exhibit great achievements in sports and other physical activities while others might need some urging and training.

Moreover, height growth variation will occur too almost surely as children develop and grow at different rates. For example, if you are buying a similar bike to what your daughter’s cousin has, then pay special attention to their height differences and whether the pedals can be adjusted.

Furthermore, look for gifts that will stimulate running, jumping and throwing because at this stage children need all the physical activity they can get as most of their time is spent in the classrooms or at home sitting on a couch and watching movies or playing video games.

In fact, latest research and studies have shown that physical activity is the number one activity that develops and maintains cognitive function in young children.

In conclusion, I would recommend looking for gifts that will help develop fine motor skills and coordination such as writing understandable letters, drawing comprehensive pictures and knitting or sewing.

These activities will help 6-year-old girls improve their accuracy with tools such as scissors, markers and masking tapes. Plus, they will get better at tying their hair bows, shoelaces or buttoning up their shirt.

A lot of the toys in this article come from various toy collections, hence if your gift will become a hit with your little girl, you could go ahead and gift her other ones too. In the end, she could have a collection she would be proud of.
